Caring for the Entire Family
Anderson-McQueen Funeral Home & Cremation Services is dedicated to serving your entire family—and we realize your pet is an important part of that family. Pets are unconditionally loyal companions that profoundly touch our lives. Because pets bring us immeasurable happiness, love and joy, it can be devastating to lose such an adored friend.
At Anderson-McQueen, we understand the overwhelming sorrow that results from losing a four-legged companion. That’s why we offer families individual pet cremations and customized memorial services to help you say goodbye to your pet in a loving and dignified manner. Anderson-McQueen has served the Tampa area for more than half a century, and we are the only funeral home in the area offering this unique pet cremation and memorial service.
Finding Closure
Because we are pet lovers ourselves, we understand that many people grieve just as deeply over the loss of a pet as they do over the loss of a human loved one.
For this reason, we are dedicated to providing the same first-rate support to all of the families we serve, including those who have recently lost a furry friend.
Closure is an extremely important part of any healthy grieving process, and a memorial ceremony or cremation offers the perfect way to say goodbye to a dearly loved pet. Our compassionate staff specializes in guiding families through their grief, and we have a certified bereavement specialist on staff to help you and your family through the difficult time following the loss of a pet.
Because losing a pet is often a child’s first experience with death, it is extremely important to make that experience as positive as possible. Our comforting staff will help your child understand their confusing emotions and say goodbye to their beloved pet in a healthy manner.
Our Peaceful Pet Passages Facility
Located just next door to our Cremation Tribute Center, Anderson-McQueen’s Pet Passages facility offers a dignified environment for you to say goodbye to your pet. The facility includes a beautiful Pet Reflection Room decorated with candles and a comforting waterfall where your family can hold a final viewing of your pet if you so choose.
The Pet Passages building also houses our very own onsite pet crematory. Because Pet Passages is the only funeral home owned pet crematory in the county, we can guarantee that your pet will cremated with dignity and respect. Your beloved pet will never leave the shelter of the Anderson-McQueen staff’s care. Whereas other crematories in the area provide only mass cremations, we assure that your pet will be cremated individually and honorably at our onsite crematory. We will even arrange for your family to witness the cremation of your pet if you desire.
